Another gold star for Switzerland

Is there anything the Swiss can't do?

The same European country that boasts an amazing GPD and GNI, mandatory gun ownership, right-to-die clinics, low war rate and states rights and gave us the Volvo has done it again and slapped a pair of Zurich-issued handcuffs on film director Roman Polanski.

After being found guilty of getting a 13-year-old drunk and seducing her in 1977, Polanski fled before being sentenced and had been living openly in France - openly enough to win an Oscar for directing The Piano.
